Topic: Selection of Music Videos (Read 33062 times)

I have noticed that some folks on here have a strong and delicate, refined taste for music. And since we come from just about any part of the globe, it would be nice to get a taste of all the different styles and goûts!I will add videos whenever I feel like doing it. Enjoy! And feel free to expand the list.

Alex,You are right, the first time I went to NYC I was really scared. Then, when I lived in there during the early 80s, I saw a guy being shot right at the subway entrance next to my place --- and I did not live in Bronx! That was one of the reasons I left the city... Too bad Giuliani arrived on the scene too late for me! Loved your selection, by the way!

"Rai" is one of my preferred styles of music. Especially when it is danced like this! Now, the way guys dance Rai in the Arab world has nothing to do with being homosexual. The best Rai dancer I've ever seen --- in Bali (Indonesia) --- was a father of six, happily married and, after he danced, you really would think someone else danced in his place...!http://www.dailymotion.com/visited/search/rai/video/x31ee_rai-super-danse-du-cousin

Hi Val - Yeah, I'm glad you took that as a 'sign' to move to a safer place. Signs are all around us if we open our ears, eyes and hearts. Your NYC video and mine certainly show the extreme ends of this insane city. Anyway, here's one that reminds me of my Parisian ex-roommate from 2001 who spent little time indoors. Very nice & responsible person but he was my roommate for only a short time and like I said he was hardly home http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBw-D9nSkYk

Hey, Alex!If only I had known the things I do today about signs, I suppose I wouldn't find myself in the situation I am in right now. But, then again, who knows what could have happened to me otherwise...!

And since I'm talking about Brazil, the very first time I went to Brasilia I was taken aback. The city was inaugurated in 1963 (year of my birthday) and was the pride of the nation. I recall being very impressed and breathless with all this innovative architecture, for I was a teen-ager! Everything was spotless and harmoniously built. However, I was also a little rebel without a cause at that time... So, I wandered off to the back of it all to see the places the guide wouldn't show us! I did exactly the same thing in East Berlin just a few years later, and believe me, I had the same feelings and impressions! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA2AYyfDS-I

It is Sunday morning and, as usual, I am just listening to some opera --- now playing Puccini --- and wandering through the house doing absolutely nothing! Outside, the weather is typical of the parisian Autumn i.e. cold and very cloudy, and I feel like listening to:

Last year I listened to this band day and night! Today, while listening to some old CDs, I remembered ""Oh My Love!" Here is a song that once you get caught in the rythm, well it is almost impossible to let it go...

I am into Aussie music right now. In fact, after Inxs, Crowded House and Midnight Oil --- among others --- I just can't get enough of it! And ""Gotye"" (pronounced just like the famous French couturier Gaulthier) is one of the francophile Aussies that I adore:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpeTejN4D-4

Thanks a lot for the exciting information. I am still listening to some of the songs and will let you know later my thoughts about it.Right now, though, I am listening to a Canadian singer that I've enjoyed for some time now.

Hope everything is fine with all of you in the North Hemisphere. In Brazil, the weather has been just like my doctor prescribed i.e. hot, beautiful weather all over. Not to mention the hotties all over the island...

I am going crazy over these guys from Canada! And, at the same time, might be looking like those 16-year old girls when they fall head over hills for some member of a band..! The difference is that I'm more than twice sixteen... Anyways, love them!

Nice song, Jordan! I appreciated it.I start the New Year with a bit of Tropicalismo. The Tropicalia Movement was a response by several Brazilian artists to the Military Junta in Brazil during the 1960s. One of the bands that really made people dance back then was "Os Mutantes"; and she, Rita Lee, was riding on top of the dangerous Tropicalia wave. I say "dangerous" because they could have been imprisoned and/or murdered!

Hey Val have you read "Tropical Truth" by Caetano Veloso? I actually find his records too thematic, I think his best was Tropicalia 2. You can see now why I came off a little hard on blond!

hap hap hapy new year!

"You shut your mouthhow can you sayI go about things the wrong wayI am human and I need to be lovedjust like everybody else does"The Smiths

Yes, Johnny, I did read it in Portuguese --- Verdade Tropical --- and understand what you are saying. However, you cannot compare the Brazilian Junta to the Spanish régime of Zapatero, right?Besides, I happen to agree with Blond on most of the points he made, even though I can assure you that me and Juan do not share the same political views! My love for him is even greater because of this...! Anyway, I just hope we didn't scare you too much with our convictions. You know, I hope, that I just dared to respond that way knowing only too well that it was for you; a guy I've learned to know and respect.

And this is for you, baby! I know you are a European somewhere and am almost sure you are acquainted with this guy's music. I do like him a lot!

It is Saturday morning, it is raining outside and I don't feel like going to the pool just yet...! In my mind this morning, I've been going back and forth ""Over the Atlantic"" and remembering some detailsl of my trip. So, logically am listening to these guys'music:

Oh Daniel,This video brought back some fond memories! In fact, I remember Natalie from a famous Aussie TV Serie that I wouldn't miss for the world: ""Neighbours!"" I think it was shown on BBC One. And if I am not mistaken, she started her artistic career in that programme. Some years later, I remember seeing her face all over Paris for a L'Oreal outdoor publicity...

I agree entirely with Alex. What a nice video especially at the end with the synchronization of the singer and the artist doing the Mime!

Now, these guys here are from Sweden and are quite famous and successful in Europe:

Well, it is working just fine in my laptop! By the way, this does happen to me as well from time to time... What I do is just enlarge the screen and it works every time. You see, I was already blaming my computer --- a Siemens/Fujitsu --- thinking this kind of stuff happened only to me!

If looks (and words) could kill! The following song played a dramatic role in my life. Indeed, I did run away from a career either in Politics or in the Braziilian Army that my father had already decided for me...!It was tough to leave all my family, friends and everything else behind and go to Rome to study. But, I succeeded!
